Visit Leiper's Fork, Tennessee

[00:00:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Ah Leipers Fork, Tennessee, a place of tranquility, charm, green rolling hills, art and music.

[00:00:11] [SPEAKER_01]: With a population of just under 1,000 people, this unincorporated area formerly known as

[00:00:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Hillsboro, Tennessee covers 1,100 acres, just 30 miles southwest of Nashville right off

[00:00:25] [SPEAKER_01]: of the Natchez Trace Parkway.

[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Join us at the table as we discuss one of our absolute favorite places.

[00:00:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to the Steel Magnolias Podcast. We are two sisters here to have uplifting conversations

[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_00]: about life in the South. The South is full of beautiful diversity in landscape, people groups

[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_00]: and culture and we want to showcase each part. We've got plenty of room at our table so pull

[00:00:53] [SPEAKER_01]: up your chair. Welcome back to the table, a little summer break. Hope you guys listening have

[00:01:03] [SPEAKER_01]: enjoyed some of the joy of warm weather and not just the hostility of humidity. Whoo! I can't say

[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I've enjoyed the heat. I'm more of a spring fall girl but I enjoyed a break. Yes, the heat is

[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_01]: oppressive. Oh, oppressive. Well when we last left you guys we had been to Dallas because a

[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_01]: cousin of ours had graduated from theological school and we did the Dallas Museum's episode

[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_01]: and then we visited Muscle Shoals Alabama where music history was made so you guys might have been

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_01]: listening to those most recently over the summer. So well after a break I couldn't even get my

[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_00]: printer to work y'all. I guess it's on revolt because it's had a little break too but I'm

[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_00]: sitting here looking at my notes on my phone. Oh technology, I know. Well we have three attempts

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_01]: got us onto our microphones work and I was a little rusty on that. Okay so we mentioned

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_01]: this leapers fork is 30 miles southwest of Nashville. It's also dubbed in what's called

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Nashville's Big Backyard which is a cute little phrase but it's all it's a thing. It's like

[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_01]: a project. We'll get to that shortly too. Yeah we're gonna do a whole episode that will tell you

[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_01]: more about that project in the future. It's super cool especially for you outdoor enthusiasts. You're

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_00]: going to want to know about Nashville's Big Backyard. For sure but I mean to put in perspective 30

[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_00]: miles from Nashville but maybe I would say eight from downtown Franklin right not far right in fact

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_01]: mailing address is say Franklin. Yes yes good distinction there. So most of you guys listening

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_01]: know that we did grow up in this area primarily in the county that we live in right now and we

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_01]: you know have seen lots of change of course. Everybody has wherever you live in the country

[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_01]: if you live right now as an adult where you grew up there's been changed right but there's

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_01]: been huge significant change around here. I can safely say with all honesty like as a little girl

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to buy a house and live in leapers fork and that was way before it was cool all y'all were

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_01]: trying to live in leapers fork it's probably the only you should have uh I don't know we

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_01]: know it was expensive it was expensive then like as an eight and ten year old I still remember

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_01]: like wow leapers fork maybe one day if I'm like a millionaire you know yeah yeah well we had some

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_00]: friends that had the leapers fork market at that time yes and so we made that track and you were

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_01]: dreaming of well which I got pretty house in the country you know I got a push pop when I went to

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_01]: the leapers fork market so what what little kid wouldn't be lured out to a place to want to

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_01]: grow up here a push pop um but yeah it was just I can't really put my finger on exactly why

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to live out there because it felt like it was forever from Brentwood where we lived but

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_00]: when you're there it does feel like like even thinking that it's about seven miles from my house

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_00]: doesn't it seem like when you're there you're more than seven miles from my house it does

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_01]: because it's very much in the country yeah so at that time and we're talking like early 90s uh

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_01]: the Judds Wynonna and Naomi Judd mother daughter Trio duo that many of you know as country singers

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_01]: they did already live out there yeah and actually I knew that Franklin huh she did think so okay I

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_01]: didn't know she was ever had much of her she was here young life young adult life here well

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_01]: it's just there's just something going on in the air out there there's a vibe it's really hard to

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_01]: describe unless you've been there it's definitely very green yes and we'll talk about part of the

[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_01]: why of that as well yeah but peaceful I don't know there was just something well I said I think it was

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_00]: the country the creek side landscape the sophistication of fine art and good coffee but yet fire pits

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: that you know you can sit around that won us over yes that's what I said it was yeah which is

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_01]: very welcoming right yes I found another quote and I'm very sorry I don't know who to attribute this to

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_01]: but the quote said if sunday morning had a hometown the charming village of leapers fork

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Tennessee might very well be it okay it feels so right because like I said a fire pit a cup of coffee

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_01]: don't you just want to yeah curl up under a slower pace so you know yeah enjoyment of life

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_01]: there's like we said there's lots of beautiful just green and nature so that brings about like

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_01]: just kind of the wonder of god and absolutely yeah it's very peaceful well now you said you know

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_00]: mid 90s early 90s this when you were talking about what and uh be there be there yes in 1999

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_00]: when Nashville and Franklin were really on the uptick already of growth yes there was some

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_00]: visionaries that had some money to spare yes thank goodness both of those matters yeah visionary

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_00]: having some money to spare resources matter that decided that they needed to preserve a lot of the

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_00]: acreage in order to keep them from being developed and that's when the land trust of Tennessee

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_01]: was born yes so I'm glad you mentioned that because I didn't even think to mention that

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_01]: that's an incredibly important part of why it still looks the way it looks yes so to some degree it

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_00]: will always look the way it's gonna look now because of that yeah important piece so they're

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Aubrey Preston and his family put a lot of the money into that land trust of Tennessee but there

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_00]: was others right in that project and even governor breadison was a part of getting that going

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_01]: mm-hmm which saved it from development yeah there was some of so that land will not be developed

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_01]: right part of the deal yes it's just gonna always be green land what you see now should be what it

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_01]: looks like for ages to come yeah there was a discussion of an interstate coming right through

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_01]: there of course development I'm sure was always on the back of people's minds so yeah it was

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_01]: spared a lot by the land trust of Tennessee now there is this is right off the Natchez Parkway

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad you mentioned that mile 428 mile post 428 so one of the things you notice when you're in

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_00]: leapers fork and it's because it's right off the Natchez Strait is lots of motorcycles lots

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_00]: of bicycles yes because people like to bike that parkway yes and then you got to have something

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_00]: to eat or get some Gatorade or whatever you need on your joint this is where a good spot to pull off

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_01]: and we did a whole episode on the Natchez Trace Parkway so if you're maybe linked to that wanting

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_01]: to know more about that parkway it's incredibly part incredibly important part of the south but

[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_01]: we also want to just go back just a teeny bit further to tell you like why this was named the

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_01]: way it was so the leapers fork area was first settled in the late 1790s by pioneering families

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_01]: from North Carolina and Virginia which we I feel like it's like a broken record of a lot of the

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_01]: history we share again why we like it that's that's where our family from overseas would have come in

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_01]: scott's irish english and so they were given land grants as payment for their services in

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_01]: the revolutionary war so the old Natchez Road came right through the middle of town and the area was

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_01]: named after the leaper family who lived along the creek leapers fork like a fork in the road

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_01]: that passes through the village and in the late 19th century there were buildings and homes that

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_01]: started to begin to be registered on the national historic registry and a lot of those you'll see

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_01]: marked in placards along different shops and antique places and things like that but

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah it was named after the leapers family and we've just wanted to kind of dive into

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_01]: if you were to visit where where where might you stay and food to eat and things to do so

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_00]: well there are some great places to stay we can jump in there now if you want or wait but

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_00]: one of the things i would say is if you're coming to franklin very easy even if you just spend a half

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_00]: a day yes in leapers fork you mean yes yes yeah give it a half a day at least yeah you could spend a

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_00]: whole day depending on how much you want to do um if you're visiting nashville

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_00]: then you're gonna need to see downtown franklin and leapers probably or that's true you know

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_00]: so you're gonna have to decide yeah how much time you want to give it but right if you're already

[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_00]: coming to franklin i definitely would say give a half day at least to leapers that's for work that's

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_01]: fair remember if on our visit franklin episode if we mentioned much of leapers fork i think we

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_01]: were so focused on franklin that we didn't really mention much about it but yeah i would even

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_00]: say i don't know if you even know this because it's literally brand new the gray line bus tour

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_00]: oh thing here that comes through franklin that comes right in front of your house you can get a

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_00]: ticket now to go to leapers okay like if you happen to be staying at the harpeth hotel in

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_00]: downtown franklin or something and you're like i want to go to leapers i mean technically you

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_00]: could uber yes too but just so you know there is a it just runs twice a day so you're going out

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_00]: there for eight hours okay to leapers fork but that's an option it's 25 for adults 1250 for kids

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_00]: that are three to 12 and free for zero to three i think aren't you on it i did not think that's

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_01]: what it was i did not so that's brand new yeah and you said uber out there yes possibly but

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_01]: i'm not sure how much ubering you'll find back to come back because it's pretty rural so

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_00]: something like that's a great point that's probably why the gray lines even doing this yeah

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_00]: so but that is it literally runs it in the morning and in the evening so you go for eight

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_01]: hours sure you do that yeah and you could do that yeah we'll fill we'll fill your eight hours

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_01]: easy so we did this episode a long time ago called modern day hospitality where we featured

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_01]: different like air bnbs that were celebrity owned so if you want to stay in a celebrity owned

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_01]: air bnb there were a couple that are in leapers fork that we mentioned on that episode but i want

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_01]: to highlight a place that you and i got to stay recently that was awesome so it's a collection

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_01]: of properties called fork and field cottages and they've got four cottages that sleep various

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_01]: amounts of guests i mean and i'm talking of upwards of eight nine ten people some of these

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_01]: cottages beautiful i mean precious and fully restored from like 1930s is when the one that we

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_01]: stayed in was built we stayed in the one that was called the pickers cottage it was a blue 1930s

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_01]: cottage that had been completely restored and had all the modern amenities yes it was that you could

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_01]: dream of i was taking pictures left and right so cute and i mean including like it was a front porch

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_01]: with a screen door that slammed when you walk through it but then you get in and it's got like

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_01]: you know modern kitchen modern kitchen great cozy beds technology and charging and all that inside

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_01]: too so it's just the best of both worlds it really is so yeah i would say definitely check out

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_01]: fork and field they've got various places that you can stay but it's going to be a limited

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_01]: inventory of places to stay oh for sure there's no hotel or you know large

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_01]: facility that is housing people so ear, bean, bee, vrbo and fork and field are kind of your

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_01]: options so yeah if you're wanting to stay out there that's right i could actually could have

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_01]: stayed in that cottage a lot for a month we had some rain and i was in the upstairs little nook

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_01]: and it was like oh i just want to read books and they had books and the built-in bookshelves

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_00]: and this is very walkable to the town yes to the little village yeah in fact the cottages are

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_01]: clustered together so if you are going with a lot of people and you wanted to do a couple of the

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_01]: cottages that would even be fun a girl's reunion or something to stay in a couple of together

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah how fun would that be let's talk about food because food is such a entryway or

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_01]: sort of personality for a city and as i mentioned in the intro actually i didn't mention

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_01]: food because i would say where leapers fork shines is in other places i would as well

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_00]: culture music it's more about nature and music and that kind of thing than it is food is my right

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_01]: and i think there's such a high standard of food these days because there are some incredible

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_01]: restaurants that are popping up even food trucks that are incredible that are popping up so the

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_01]: competition is fierce in that regard but i just wanted to mention that like you know obviously

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_01]: you have to eat but like you know there's other things to do too but let's well let's start with

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_00]: the food though and actually to your point it's almost to me as i'm thinking about it

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_00]: the food kind of matches the vibe well so do you see what i'm saying yes so i would say if you

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_00]: want like a really great sandwich and a drink in a glass bottle like an rc cola yes they got you

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah that you're gonna be good on so let's go through it breakfast super casual at the country boy

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_00]: yes super casual yeah egg sausage served on a paper plate because they have to because of septic

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_00]: issues is that not unbelievable it's not what you want any the word septic i know but i'm just

[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_00]: being honest i did say something about man i wish this what didn't have to have paper plates and

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_00]: that's how i found out that they do in fact have to have paper plates yes um but yeah casual

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_01]: breakfast joint very southern and lunch they have lunch okay okay i was only picturing it as

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_01]: breakfast so yeah lunch as you mentioned grab a sandwich made to order at the counter from

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_00]: davis generals davis general store or leapers for leapers for market it's the same drill at both

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_01]: you walk up and you get a piece of paper and like a golf pencil like a pet golf pencil what you want

[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_00]: you call your name um both places have picnic tables outside yes the leapers fork market has

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_00]: a bigger area of grass where kids could run dogs could go to the bathroom if you're jumping off

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_00]: the trace or something um but yeah they both have indoor seating as well but i would say

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: not a lot not a lot yeah the leapers fork market is cool the way they've got this massive community

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_00]: table under this beautiful chandelier that there's cool pictures on the wall in there almost museum

[00:16:39] [SPEAKER_00]: ask yeah some of the history and that kind of thing pick up a coffee as you love hanks coffee

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_01]: shops with you never staff that changes and things you just so true at the time this episode releases

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_01]: it could have changed from what we have in our notes today you're so right but yeah i heard that

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_01]: fanny runs a fan of that show you can see the redbird coffee stand so you mentioned the creek i did i have

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_01]: to tell you dinner should be planned around the creek you have two options here guys you have two

[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_01]: options and again you got to check the websites for that of these two options i'm going to tell

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_01]: you for places you can have dinner in the creek or beside the creek isn't that awesome i really

[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_00]: want to go to that in the creek one is that the harpeth the the it's called fundraiser for the

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_01]: preservation or well they do it i want to say i'm going to say regularly but i mean maybe even

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_01]: monthly when i say that like or or okay you know bi-monthly but it's farmstead roots creek dinner

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_01]: series at the wines and the fork um okay this is different than what i'm talking about okay so

[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_01]: wines in the fork is a wine tasting room that you can go visit but they have partnered with this farmstead

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_01]: roots creek that does this multi-course dinner series and they pair it with their wines so fun

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_01]: and then you sit you know under the beautiful little white lights that make everything just

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_01]: so romantic in a creek that's so adorable like in a creek and sometimes they'll have like artisan

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_01]: demonstrations and things but imagine a very very long table seating i don't know 20 plus people

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_01]: just across from each other like and you're wearing your cute clothes but shorts or pants rolled up

[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_01]: because your feet are in water it's just adorable most picturesque thing you all

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_01]: definitely have to put some pictures up for sure this week for you to get the reality is you may be

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_00]: getting mosquito bites and that kind of thing right in the pictures it's perfection maybe in the fall

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_01]: maybe in the fall i don't know what the optimal times are so you'll have to check the website

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_00]: i'll put in our show notes well i know there's a fundraiser as well for the harpeth and these

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_01]: prices might even feel like it's a fundraiser it's not a cheap ticket by any means this would

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_01]: be your experience slash dinner yeah this is your pictures this is your

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_01]: 10 like you've got a concert in as well kind of moment okay so that is in the creek and then

[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_01]: but this is with bam foods catering and the food was fabulous i thought yes again a local chef

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_01]: that he puts together a customized menu for that evening tailers it to whatever they're

[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_01]: wanting to focus on for the evening in our instance there was a tequila company that

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_01]: was partnering with them so we actually brought in like a flight of tequila for us to pair with

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_01]: different things and that was super cool it was beautiful it really was absolutely beautiful

[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_00]: i loved it so much and was really hoping i you know wish and i was with the day but maybe that

[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_01]: will be in a later well freaks i'd now you know about it so bam foods catering it's usually

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_01]: typically beside the creek behind the country boy restaurant but i think they're open to

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_01]: you know doing events at other places as well so we'll link to them in our show notes that

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_01]: would be a really fun dinner out and then speaking of adult beverages we should mention the leapers

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_00]: and you know cabbage and lots of fried things fried pickles fried green tomatoes yeah bar food

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_00]: bar food slash comfort food but it's good i'm just it's not like crazy creative yes necessarily

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_00]: yes but it goes with the vibe of listening to good picking and yeah so this formerly was

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_01]: the original puckets grocery right and that's what before that it was owned by fox and lock

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_01]: yes and that's the original original original name so and they have world class musicians oh man

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_01]: that come and play many yet to be discovered you know and many that are songwriters potentially

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_01]: playing hits that you know that somebody else went on to record and is huge their songwriter nights

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_01]: are really fun for that reason yeah they have songwriter nights they have open mic nights

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_01]: they have uh you know the events schedule is online because you do have to get tickets for most

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah so i would say i know they released tickets 30 days before okay a particular night show

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_00]: and they sell out right so just know it takes a little bit of planning i mean this is like maybe

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_01]: what 100 150 people this place can hold yeah i would say 100 okay actually okay yeah so it will

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_00]: likely sell out on a particularly on a friday saturday night so just make arrangements and

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_01]: but we're talking like take a price range of like 10 to 20 dollars yeah like the ones that we went to

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_01]: that songwriter night it was seven or eight bucks 750 each i think okay maybe a fee we saw charles

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_01]: wig wig g walker wig walker that's his nickname he's toured with jimmy hindricks

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_01]: jackson five wilson picket arita franklin yeah he had that true soul sound that was so cool to see

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_01]: him in such a small intimate place so yeah that's expect that like expect if you're gonna be seeing

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_01]: somebody it's gonna feel like you got lucky yes you did yeah it's a great spot okay you want to

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_01]: do the distillery now sure okay so leapers fork distillery we've been there a couple of times

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_01]: you and i and the tour a couple of times actually great tour since filling their first barrel in

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_01]: the spring of 2016 so they're new they are pretty they're new they have been seeking to really resurrect

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_01]: the art small batch small batch yes small batch distilling and that was what was prevalent in

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_01]: the hills of this area in like the late 1700s they produce 25 000 gallons annually in that wild

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_01]: to think about some of these kentucky distilleries let me put that in perspective jack daniels does that

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_01]: actually does a little more than that in a day oh my gosh i was gonna say in a week nope a day

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_01]: 25 000 gallons so yeah they are very small batch but yeah great tour you can come you know you

[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_01]: can see the whole process you can taste they've got a little bar area sometimes there's a musician out

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_00]: there huge area to hang huge area in fact they do music some and they do even a food truck occasionally

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_00]: okay that's good so one thing you could do in your planning is find out what they've got going on

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_00]: and if they're not doing any kind of food truck or something you could even bring your sandwich from

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_00]: davis general over here yeah that's it and then do a tour or whatever yeah yeah that could be

[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_01]: the distillery is it's not off the beaten path but it's not within the hub of all these other places

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_00]: that we've been talking about yeah so you would need a car to get to this if you do that gray line

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_00]: thing you're not going to be able to get to it yeah unless they're running some they might

[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_01]: have come they might stop there or something they should but yeah it's a really fun and you

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_01]: know a lot of people want some sort of a tour or some sort of a thing that they're like yeah

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_01]: sightseeing if you will there's not a lot of sightseeing in the first little shop where you can buy

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_00]: their whiskies you can buy t-shirts and stickers and all the things all the little southern souvenirs

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_00]: to take home yeah so that's a fun little stop too well right in the village of leapers fork

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_00]: there are some staples that i i want to cover and i would say one of the staples that has

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_00]: stood the test of time is the leapers creek gallery yes it's a fine art gallery it's owned by lisa fox

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_00]: and um she and her husband i think have been in that community for a long time okay and amy smith

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_00]: is the director of that gallery and she is so approachable and kind cool like you know sometimes

[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_00]: you think of art community people can be a little exclusive or that kind of thing i feel like amy is very

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_00]: just kind and approachable i love the feel of this gallery because um it's

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_00]: walls are covered with literally beautiful fine art but yet there's like chairs for you to hang out

[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_00]: there's a porch swing yeah there's always some kind of fresh flowers in there but literally it might

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_00]: be thistles from the side of the road or queen and's lace from the side of the road it's not like

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_00]: the pee bodies right gorgeous flowers in their entryway or something it's like just feels that

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_00]: country vibe but yet fine art they have a very wide mix of artist style i would say it's mostly

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_00]: paintings and sculpture but a lot of different style in that realm and lisa fox and art is an

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_00]: artist herself as well so some of her stuff's in there and then there's other people's works yes

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_00]: so that's a great place to have a walk around after you've finished your coffee yes yeah probably

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_01]: they probably don't want you walking around with your coffee in their inside fine art gallery

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_00]: and they do events every once in a while i wouldn't say super often but they do where they'll host an

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_00]: artist that's coming or you know something like that so check out what they've got going on i'm gonna

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_01]: let you talk about the next place on my list because i'm sure it's on yours because all I have is

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_00]: happy lanie's happy place tell us about your arms so david arms is another art fine art gallery

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_00]: it's been in its current location for quite a number of years and is moving oh it is today he's

[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_00]: there all day and he's kind of like gonna i guess it's kind of like the step into the new season

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_00]: because they're they're moving just down the street so i haven't seen the new space it will still

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_00]: be right in the heart of leapers okay but it is moving from its barn looking yeah um 10 roofed

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_00]: location i don't know what's going in there yet it's got to be something cool because that's a cool

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_00]: building it is such a cool space and he'll make the next space cool because it's all him right behind

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_00]: the vibe there yeah but the current space i'm sure the next one will be like this as well to me

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_00]: is a sensory journey you walk in and well first of all before you walk in you see like beautiful

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_00]: flowers and you hear music because he's got it piped outside in the fall he'll have like

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_00]: s'mores um stuff to make some more stuff outside right by the fire pit again there's this another

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_00]: fire pit um it's always just got a cool vibe about it you stepping through the door and the

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_00]: smell is so wonderful um so much so that he's made like a spray and a candle of the smell

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_00]: but it was um a smell a blend that he kind of made to inspire him to paint wow is the story

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_00]: behind that it has some patchouli in it so that's why we love it yes but anyway um his art is full of

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_00]: biblical symbolism yes it sure is and um yeah so you'll see a lot of things that kind of point to

[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_00]: the trinity or point to god's grace or like themes like that and i can't even really explain it all

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_00]: but i just feel his presence there god's presence there like it's just so sweet and um

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_00]: i have never formally met him i've met i've seen him but i didn't want to address him he always has

[00:31:07] [SPEAKER_00]: a little bow tie on right he's very short dressers yeah exactly um but yeah he seems like a wonderful

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_00]: person and so yeah he has a gallery there it is moving but i'm sure it's gonna be a super cool

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_01]: vibe so you can find out a little bit more even about his story his journey of his own sort of

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_01]: overcoming some things and some of the stuff that they sell there his whole line of it's gonna be okay

[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_00]: that was an early on so it's kind of like down in the back corner yeah but yeah if you've ever

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_01]: seen a bumper sticker that says i g be okay it's it's gonna be okay and that really came from him

[00:31:44] [SPEAKER_01]: um in his his life story so yeah that's a great spot to stop and even if you're not buying fine art

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_00]: he's got card no tea towels and prints of things that you can afford yes and if you can't afford the

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_01]: fine art so love that space what else what else oh we got to talk about patina home and garden

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_01]: yes so this is right again in the heart of leapers fork village this is a store experience sort of

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_00]: lifestyle they're walking you into right yeah i think they are wanting you wanting this to be a hub

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_00]: of you cultivating the space you love well said yes i think that's kind of what their goal is

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_00]: so this is a couple that moved from california brook and steve geonetti he's an architect she's an

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_00]: interior designer and quite acclaimed i mean they've done a lot of beautiful works you can look on

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_00]: their website um to see some of the homes that they've designed and inside and out literally right

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_00]: and then they've got their own property here in tennessee where they're doing the same they've

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_00]: just fell in love with the area when he was doing a project here and decided like they wanted to move

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_00]: their family to tennessee and start um afresh here yeah they i guess really love the area of scotland

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and when they traveled there enjoyed the landscape and so when they came here they felt like there

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_01]: was a lot of similarities in the conswolds of england and that kind of thing which it does

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_00]: look like with the creeks and yeah country farm homes and the dust thing so their shop has things

[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_00]: for your home certainly from a few antiques to just pretty dinnerware and that kind of thing but

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_00]: they even have some like culinary gifts and um their daughter is even growing some vegetables

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_00]: and fresh flowers that you can buy there in the shop which was precious we got to meet her

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_01]: and see her greenhouse and just kind of hear about her process and she's you know very smart

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_01]: but this is she's smart in the studies that she's done and she's just getting her hands now into

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_01]: the actual labor yeah of growing so yeah it was cool to see her and her explain her process

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_00]: but yeah she grows incredibly beautiful flowers absolutely and they have um put together i think

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_00]: at least four books now wow under their name you know patina home patina garden i don't know all

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_00]: the patina lifestyle right so they have those books for sale in their shop and i think there's even

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_00]: some signed copies there or i'm sure she could they're there a good bit yeah she you could get

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_01]: her to sign one for you they have let's see patina is just kind of that um like if you see

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_01]: some of the copper that's been yeah aged yeah yeah almost like teal like right like green in it yeah

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah so pretty another thing i would say about patina home is they are doing occasional classes

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_00]: there in the shop cool i think they're wanting to get into that more and more but everything from

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_00]: canning to i know she had discussed she wanted to have a pottery class that kind of thing so

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_00]: there's more coming but you might want to check out their website even to just see stay close to

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_00]: classes yeah i would have been going on while you're gonna be in in the area very cool across the

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_00]: street um it's actually in between david arms and fox and lock there is an old 1888 historic home

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_00]: called the it that's the copper fox gallery okay so this you know one thing i got thinking

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_00]: about as i was researching for this episode is there's several couples who are running businesses

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_00]: together that's interesting for work and i just found that interesting because you know that's a

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_00]: whole lot of time together when you're living together working together and i thought that's

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_00]: kind of cool that there's some couples that are very cool doing a lot together but john and

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_00]: talbot grimm bought this copper fox gallery from david and lisa fox who on the wow great gallery

[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_00]: and they bought it in 2014 and so this has really got a lot of works that are from skilled craftsmen

[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_00]: of the southeast nice so you'll see some photography you'll see some leather work or jewelry

[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_00]: they have some paintings but it seems like it's more craftsmanship okay kinds of things

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_00]: that make sense yeah so andy dipwiler who's married to elizabeth foster he's a photographer

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_00]: and some of his works are in there cool so anyhow this is just another spot where you might want to

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_00]: check out if you're interested in art or they also do classes i saw that there was a trunk

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_00]: show by a jewelry artist that was coming they had a pottery event on the schedule where they were

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_00]: bringing in some different people's pottery so fun i know i love this community vibe so leapers

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_01]: fork if you are gonna travel in or visit in it sounds like you definitely have to be open to

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_01]: whatever is happening in leapers fork event wise dictating what you're gonna do right because

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_00]: it's gonna happen on land on the weekend i'm going right it's very fluid or you might want to come

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_01]: or if you're fluid work around what they have exactly exactly that's great i need to stop in

[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_01]: there soon because i haven't actually been in there before yeah many people are the buzz is about

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_01]: south hall farm and in now this is right at the end of the road south hall it is what i would call

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_01]: luxury farm studying or home studying yeah luxury yes to the nth degree right it's so exclusive

[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_01]: that they've excluded us i think so this is 325 acres yeah in the leapers fork sort of i guess

[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_01]: you would still call that the district it's not in this village area that we've been discussing

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_01]: primarily but they have 62 guest rooms and suites and then there are 16 separate cottages

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_01]: that are just in this picturesque hillside of tennessee and they've got a restaurant there's a

[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_01]: second restaurant in the works i believe is what i heard there's a spa a pool and orchard

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_01]: lots of greenhouses where they're growing everything that they're using in these restaurants

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_01]: gardens hiking trails beekeeping facilities demonstrations yeah they're doing honey

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_01]: tasting yeah demonstrations in their kitchens and in all of these other areas that i've been

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_01]: discussing and the orchard etc and yeah all with a sort of a bend towards sustainable living yeah

[00:39:04] [SPEAKER_01]: this just eco-friendly lifestyle so there's even the pond on site was needed to irrigate the

[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_01]: orchard yes okay so and then since they had a pond then they allow you to use that for like paddle

[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_01]: boarding or kayaking so it's just it is a neat concept cool concept to think of using everything

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_01]: together to work together or giving everything a purpose that's beyond just that one particular

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_00]: piece of production so i thought it was funny the um couple that moved here to do this they're

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_00]: from chicago his last name is their last name is mishkin yes so they're calling this and i think

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_00]: it's man-made it's the lake mishkin lake mishkin which sounds like lake michigan i just thought that was

[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_01]: cute that is cute so yeah we would be remissed and i mentioned oh for sure south hall because

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_01]: there's a you know condonast and all this all the travel garden and gun all the locations are

[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_00]: luxury magazines will be talking south hall they are it's been compared to the more well known

[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_00]: much further back dated blackberry farm in east in east tennessee right but i had a client of mine

[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_00]: that told me that they had been to eat at um south hall and david or ket was eating next to them so

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_00]: i mean that's the wow clientele i guess of sure who's a south hall that's funny okay anyhow um i really

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_00]: enjoyed that little shop we went in called props that was a cool shop so this is in the village

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_00]: yes of leapers fork and super eclectic it's a husband wife team again it is right so um the

[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_00]: shop is i would say like old fun candy of old they had um like used boots of all different sizes i saw

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_01]: the cutest kids boots oh my gosh um they had all kinds of cool neon signs in there yeah her husband

[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_01]: makes the neon that's right the signs yeah or he makes the neon signs yeah his company is called

[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_00]: liquid fire neon okay and yeah but isn't this funny there's so many husband wife wow over here in

[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_00]: this area so anyhow they had candles and culinary gifts and all kinds of things i'm so glad you mentioned

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_00]: that because i did enjoy that shop that was a really fun store yeah very don't miss that one

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_00]: another one i wanted to mention was tennessee turquoise company thank you so i didn't remember

[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_00]: this one's new to me yes i wasn't i was with a friend who knew of it and this was opened by

[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_00]: morgan stapleton chris stapleton's wife and it is just as the name would say all kinds of turquoise

[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_00]: jewelry mostly um cuffs and rings and necklaces and but it has a really cool story behind it

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_00]: it's um the it's an all-female team running oh i didn't know that cool it's her store and she

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_00]: wants females running it but it's um they give back to the national indigenous women's resource center

[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_00]: which is basically helping to end gender-based violence in the indigenous communities and so a

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_00]: lot of their profit goes to that group because a lot of this turquoise jewelry comes from

[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_00]: indigenous communities so it is t90 yeah like when you come in it says occupancy four

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_00]: like it's tini the tiniest little log cabin yeah i think didn't you say you the friend that you were

[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_01]: with like was looking at her mapping on her phone and it was like arrived she's like it looks like

[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_00]: it's right there and i'm like i don't think it would be that well it is in fact if you remember

[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_00]: when they used to do the movies back at the um lawn chair theater where they sold the popcorn

[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_00]: that's it that's it oh okay yeah so it's tini but it's right back behind the leapers creek gallery

[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_00]: and by the way you will see a cute lawn chair theater yes just a little stage sometimes they'll

[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_00]: do music or movies or things outside and you bring your lawn chair kid friendly events galore

[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_01]: yes really cute little area back there i'm so glad you mentioned tennessee turquoise yeah and then

[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_00]: creekside trading has been around for quite a while too it's right next to patina home okay and there

[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_00]: i would say they have kind of similarly to um copper fox they have a lot of artisan work so

[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_00]: again jewelry leather work um some fun lighting they even have an area now for vinyl like if

[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_00]: you're into vinyl cool it's a vinyl in there so yeah it's been there for a while yeah as well cool

[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_01]: well i would say i want to close with a quote from dr carol van west he is a local historian

[00:44:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and teacher that was a part of a joint project between middle tennessee's historic preservation group

[00:44:26] [SPEAKER_01]: and the leapers fork foundation and he was talking about he just said leapers fork is the heart of a

[00:44:32] [SPEAKER_01]: cultural landscape the preservation and rebirth of leapers fork is no miracle it is the result of

[00:44:39] [SPEAKER_01]: people working together keeping the place whole recognizing all the pasts that came this way and

[00:44:45] [SPEAKER_01]: keeping an eagle eye out for opportunity and community you can take these lessons to your

[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_01]: own community carve your own pathway and begin to imagine the futures that await so the project was

[00:45:00] [SPEAKER_01]: hey this has been deemed a really cool place to live to work to visit but you could do this too

[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_01]: so they they have attempted to really put their lessons learned and the sweat and tears

[00:45:15] [SPEAKER_01]: that they've poured into they being this kind of community leader group and i will actually link in

[00:45:23] [SPEAKER_01]: our show notes to the electronic version of this little booklet that they put out but it's called

[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_01]: charting your own vision lessons from leapers fork and it really is just a little guidebook on how

[00:45:33] [SPEAKER_01]: to like create community in your place in your space and things like the lawn chair theater

[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_01]: the fire pits that are all around those were all intentional intentional things it doesn't feel

[00:45:45] [SPEAKER_00]: intentional no as you're just walking around your but you wonder why you want to sit and hang

[00:45:51] [SPEAKER_00]: that's why it's because they've created space for it yep yeah and i love one of the things in
